OCEA
The Ontario Collegiate Equestrian Association runs hunter equitation shows for university teams across Ontario. Universities are split into four zones- Western is part of the west zone. The shows are catch-riding based so competitors do not need to own a horse to compete. There are four divisions each with different jump heights and different show experience requirements, so riders of all levels have an opportunity to compete.
